1822P Georgian (George IV) British Infantry Officer's Sword, Sold

In good condition, a George IV 1822P British Infantry Officer's Sword with pipe back blade, etched to retailer Dunsford.

Early brown leather scabbard. Being a George IV 1822 Pattern, this dates the sword from 1822 to 1830.

The 32 1/4 inch pipe back quill point blade is in good condition and firm in the hilt. The brass hilt with some disfiguration but not too much. The fishskin grip is good, as are the twisted grip wire bindings. Part of the leather inner hilt insert remains studded to the folding section of the guard, which section works / folds well. The leather and metal fittings scabbard is aged but in well above average condition for its age. The sword sheathes and draws well.

Not many of these around, nor in such good condition. A true investment at just £? (too late, now sold). Please quote item reference R34 (0512). Further / full sized images available upon request.
